A Pine Bluff man who was listed among Jefferson County’s Most Wanted felons in December was taken into custody Saturday after he was located in Illinois.

Meanwhile, another man on the December list and three people on the March list were arrested recently.

Saturday, Jahavaris Corna James, 22, was arrested near Chicago. James was being sought on warrants charging him with faiure to appear for trial on aggravated robbery and theft of property allegations. James and with his brother, Antonio L. Williams, 19, shared the number three spot on the list in December.

Sheriff’s Capt. Bernard Adams said a task force composed of members of the U.S. Marshal’s Service, FBI, and Illinois authorities located James in Decatur, Ill., and arrested him without incident.

Williams was arrested on Jan. 29 after an alleged struggle with Chicago police officers, reportedly striking both officers, gaining control of a Tazer, and using it against one of the officers. A second person, who was believed to be James, fled from the scene and was not identified by police.

Adams said deputies received a tip that Brooks was at a house at 1909 S. Marsh St., and took him into custody without incident.

He was taken to the adult detention center where he will be held pending an expected court appearance Tuesday.

Since the March Most Wanted list was released last week, three of the 10 individuals on it have been arrested.
